      Just going through the motions awkwardly trying to fall back into some good things I used to love.:sweat

      Sven is Doll in Life Rydel on Star Spangled doll body. Been with me since May of 2012. :hug: I make all his clothes and faceup.

      Best wishes from both of us to you! Thanks for looking

    7. These photos are lovely and uplifting, they make me smile. The place is beautiful, and your doll is seems to enjoy his trip very much. He looks smiley for a goth …
      I especially like the 1st photo with the huge leaves.

    9. Thanks everyone for such nice comments :hug: I really appreciate it. I struggled with the photos because I am so out of the zone nowadays, and of course it was incredibly hot outside too. :lol: But my mental health has been suffering so much lately and it was a good reminder when I felt better taking time even just to hold my doll and do some quiet activity together. Sven is good company because he is very gentle and always happy about wherever we are going, whatever we are doing! He is also fun to handle because his wardrobe has become very concise but I am quite satisfied with the quality of the outfits. His style makes me feel nostalgic too (about the trends when I was first getting into the hobby) and I'm pleased with how the fashions turned out when I made the new pieces a couple years ago and got these outfit combos finished to my liking.
      Thanks again for seeing the things I was striving for! :hug:

    10. Sven looks at peace and like he enjoyed himself very much amidst all the greenery. My favourite photos are the one on the path with the tree branch overhead (lovely framing there), and the other path with the red flowers in the back. I'm always happy to see your photos, thanks for sharing these!
